Our homeowners business is underwritten by select carriers, including ASI, throughout the United States.

This year marks an important moment for Progressive. While we continue to make progress on our Destination Era strategy, we now have a new CEO leading the effort.

In light of this move, the theme transition was chosen for this year’s annual report.

This year marks an important moment for Progressive. While we continue to make progress on our Destination Era strategy, we now have a new CEO leading the effort. In light of this move, the theme transition was chosen for this year’s annual report. Artist Lucia Koch explores how we can change the spaces we inhabit through subtle means — whether it’s through her large-scale photographs of the inside of consumer packaging that create the illusion of rooms or the site-specific installations where she transforms spaces through color and light. To represent our theme, she has created two site-specific installations in the Visitors Center of Progressive’s headquarters, itself a transition space into the campus. Using color filters, she paints the space with natural light, providing a new experience of the space for all who move through it. This work is a permanent addition
to Progressive’s growing collection of contemporary art.
